I never expected to hear this from the very person who had ruthlessly robbed me.
I don't know if this is a satire or a mockery of reality.
The small electric fan in the shop creaked and groaned, scattering Luan Yenan's words.
Zuo Baixuan didn't listen, but she still looked up at a 45-degree angle and began to finish the final curtain call of this performance.
"Okay." He replied with a broad smile, brimming with trust in his "new wife."
Luan Yenan stared intently at her as she smiled, and she smiled even more brightly, revealing her dimples.
"I just noticed you have dimples when you smile," Luan Yenan said, running her fingers along that inch of skin.
Zuo Baixuan always only showed weakness and gave Luan Yenan a perfunctory, polite smile; it was perfectly normal that she had never seen dimples.
Following Luan Yenan's words, Zuo Baixuan said in a sweet tone, as if she was being a little temperamental: "You really didn't care about me at all before. You'll have to be punished by caring about me more from now on."
The tiny shop, surrounded by the smell of dyes from various clothes, exudes a pink, romantic atmosphere, like something out of an idol drama.
The two shop assistants were dumbfounded.
So that's what their relationship is like!
I really didn't notice it just now, it was hidden so well!
The petite shop assistant always thought that Zuo Baixuan should be a gentle and polite girl, but with a slightly cold demeanor.
I've never seen her show such a sweet, feminine side before. I was instantly overwhelmed by the sweetness of the couple's public display of affection.
"Are you newlyweds? Oh my god, I don't have much to congratulate you on. But within my authority, I'm giving you a 20% discount on all the clothes you bought today! And, and, you look so good in them!!!" The petite saleswoman looked like a completely smitten fangirl, her eyes sparkling.
It's clear that because of Zuo Baixuan, both shop assistants didn't believe Lin Xiaoxiao's words earlier and still held the impression of Luan Yenan as a classy older sister.
"Thank you." Luan Yenan smiled and then turned to look at Zuo Baixuan. "Go and change into it, it will look good."
Zuo Baixuan was very obedient and took a set of clothes into the dressing room.
Luan Yenan also saw the sun protection clothing she was holding.
While in the dressing room, I overheard the conversation between the petite shop assistant and Zuo Baixuan outside.
Zuo Baixuan has a great figure.
Even though she suffered from malnutrition as a child, it did not stop her from developing.
She really is a lot like her former self.
Struggling in the quagmire, seizing any opportunity to escape.
However, the path to advancement does not include selling one's body.
There are many people in society who treat girls and Omegas as resources.
Even men from the lower classes or Alphas can become resources as long as their fetishes are appealed.
Zuo Baixuan and she both knew this was a shortcut, but they were unwilling to take it.
So even if Zuo Baixuan used herself as a bargaining chip in the gamble, she would still hide the scissors under her pillow.
Because she knew that showing weakness was only a temporary shield, and only the person who truly set the rules of the game could become the ultimate winner.
Luan Yenan looked at Zuo Baixuan's back as if he were looking at a flower struggling to grow in the sunlight, adorned with dewdrops, sparkling with light, a flower with thorns.
She made no attempt to hide the interest in this person in her eyes.
I'm increasingly looking forward to watching the little white flower grow, suppressing the urge that wells up inside me to carefully prune it with scissors right now.
The two shop assistants next to him, seeing the expression on the "waiting-for-wife stone's" face, couldn't help but gesticulate wildly, suppressing the urge to scream.
He cried out in his heart.
I'm hooked!
This is love!
A note from the author:
Love is like a pair of scissors (no!)
Luan Yenan: It can be used to snap flowers.
Zuo Baixuan: It can be used to cut glands.

Chapter 10
Luan Yenan waited patiently outside the changing room and wandered around the shop again, but soon felt a little tired, so she lazily sat on the bar stool at the cashier and leaned against the counter.
I used the scissors on the cashier's counter to cut off the tags on my clothes, and then looked through my phone for a while.
It wasn't until the curtain of the dressing room was slowly pulled open and Zuo Baixuan slowly walked out of the dressing room that she raised her head.
Luan Yenan has excellent taste; this off-white halter dress fits Zuo Baixuan perfectly.
She paired it with a light green sun-protective shirt.
The color made her fair face appear brighter.
It doesn't need much embellishment; it's already at its most beautiful.
The swaying little flowers exude a fresh and sweet herbal fragrance.
Luan Yenan was also amazed by the effect.
She had thought this outfit would look good on Zuo Baixuan, but she hadn't expected it to be so stunning, so captivating. Only after the image was completely imprinted in her mind did she blink and join the shop assistant in praising, "It really does look beautiful."
Zuo Baixuan's gaze passed over the two shop assistants and met Luan Yenan's.
She bit her lip lightly, lowered her eyes to look away, and gave a half-serious, half-fake shy expression.
"Yes, yes, they really look great! Try on the others too!" The petite shop assistant laid out all the clothes that Luan Yenan had brought after walking around earlier on the counter.
Luan Yenan raised his hand and waved his credit card on the table: "Let's not try it. Let's buy them all and have them delivered to our house by same-city courier. Is that okay?"
The petite shop assistant was slightly stunned. This woman acted so decisively and was so cool!
One of the two employees took the money, while the other started tidying up.
Zuo Baixuan turned her head to change her clothes.
Luan Yenan picked up the scissors on the table, walked over and grabbed Zuo Baixuan's hand.
As Zuo Baixuan was pulled back, she saw the cold weapon in Luan Yenan's hand in the full-length mirror, and the scene from last night flashed before her eyes.
Terrified, her hands and feet turned ice-cold, and she stared into Luan Yennan's dark eyes, too afraid to move.
Surely this person wouldn't resort to violence in public?
But then I thought, who knows?
As Luan Yenan approached her and cut off the label, he showed it to her.
Seeing Zuo Baixuan's stiff neck and slightly raised head, he suddenly smiled and said, "It looks good. Wear this home today."
After cutting off the label, she put the scissors back on the recycling counter.
Zuo Baixuan then looked away from the scissors and relaxed her muscles.
Luan Yenan watched this scene unfold, his excitement scattering like spilled rainbow candy. He lightly flicked his finger across Zuo Baixuan's neck: "It's just missing something."
Zuo Baixuan's cold sweat had stopped, but fine beads of sweat remained, and her heart was pounding.
The person turned their head and leaned closer, closing the distance.
In the full-length mirror opposite them, the two appeared even more intimate than before.
"But, is there enough time to go home and see my two mothers?" Zuo Baixuan swallowed her nervousness and looked back at Luan Yenan.
Luan Yenan was very satisfied with Xiaobaihua's performance at this moment. He smiled and stopped approaching. He took half a step back and reached out to hold the phone out from behind the nervous girl and in front of her.
The message on the screen was from the Luan family's driver, who had sent a message in advance saying that the original owner's Alpha mother would not be available until the afternoon, so the driver would wait until 4 p.m. to pick her up.
Luan Yenan confirmed that Zuo Baixuan had read the message before speaking: "So, we can go have a meal first, and then do some shopping."
Zuo Baixuan was unsure how to cooperate with the "let's take a stroll" part.
But at least when it comes to food, she plays the role of a dutiful wife, asking for her opinion: "What would you like to eat?"
But when he looked back at Luan Yenan, the woman had already taken back her bank card and was walking towards the door.
Where is the image of newlyweds inseparable?
But then, she turned around and smiled, making the two shop assistants exclaim how sweet she was.
"Just eat what you usually eat, I'll go with you."
As Luan Yenan spoke, accompanied by the jingling of the bell on the door, she pushed the door open and walked out, giving Zuo Baixuan no chance to refuse.
"Then we'll be leaving now. Thank you for your help with the clothes. Also, could you please help us pack up inside? Sorry about that." Zuo Baixuan said goodbye to the two shop assistants.
The petite shop assistant immediately chimed in, "It's alright, it's alright, you two should go enjoy your time together! The honeymoon phase after marriage is just so sweet! Wishing you a long and happy marriage!"
Upon hearing the words of blessing, Zuo Baixuan smiled sweetly and went out the door.
As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.
She looked at Luan Yenan, who was strolling out along the alley, and followed him with small steps.
Two girls, one in black and one in white, walked on the bluestone road, seemingly dividing the road into two distinct halves, yet they harmoniously converged at the narrowest part of the alley.
Follow the bluestone path to the end, and you'll find the bustling commercial street they passed on their way in.
